The other Side of Darkness
A woman alone
seeking comfort in the dark
hoping to hide on the inside of shadows
instead discovering the purity of night
once she was young and full of light
trusting and naïve
until the world came crashing down
her soul buried deep beneath fists and hate
memories that live forever in her mind
Cold, freezing cold
a blizzard savaging her soul
Yet new desires grew from frozen ground
everything lost but serenity found
Whispering a gentle caress
she gave heart heart to the night
with these words Night too felt love
freeing her tortured soul
that she might see in the dark
to guide her to the other side of pain
Looking in from outside the world
she saw what was meant to be
and cried
So one fateful day
she sought the blood of her enemies
the ones torturing her soul
and left them in madness screaming
and clawing their eyes out
from the sins inside
Feeling pleasure in their pain
her life found meaning in dripping blood
a witch reborn pleading ....

So often not being in the light is comforting.
In the light so many secrets are concealed.
Pretending like everything is okay...
There is at least honesty in the darkness.
Even if the monsters reside there too.
And make a home in you forever.
Innocence is so fragile, it breaks so easily.
And yes, once lost it cannot be found again.
But new desires are conceived in it's place.
This insanity that infects the mind...
Growing into dark compulsions, losing inhibitions.
The need only grows to fill all the spaces,
in every way the darkness consumes your soul.
And in ways the light never could...
This intensity of desires, lust, and passion.
We have to follow the path before us.
For some that is through the darkest parts.
And it opens wounds, creates scars, and changes you.
In order to heal you have to embrace it,
otherwise you will be stuck in fear forever.
Never moving forward, the past destroying the soul.
These trials can instead make us more passionate.
Wiser, more empathetic, and more inspiring.
In that you have already defeated your enemies.
Because they seek to destroy your passion.
To take it for themselves because they lack it.
The best way to steal souls is to live.
People will always be attracted to that.
This never ending sense of adventure.
The desire to do everything, everywhere.
And then doing it...
I love the buildup, possibilities, and conquering.
I do love the dark twists, black magic, and power at the end.
It's great. ;)
You definitely know how to write a love letter. (and everything else too)

There is not much I wouldn't give to see through your eyes for an instant. I do not know if I would survive for longer than that but maybe I would give all, idk. There is such depth in you that I fear I would lose my way seeking the surface just to breathe. I love your reply as this is a thesis on becoming and empowerment in the dark, this seems a love letter to not only me but to the night.
One desire to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.
Peace, witch
